Tamworth Regional Council has been contracted by Roads and Maritime Services to undertake construction for the $6 million project, but first some early works need to be done.

These include the widening of Brewery Lane, construction of a new stormwater drainage system in the road reserve adjacent to The Square Man Inn Restaurant and the removal of guard rails and the installation of new pavement adjacent to Chaoyang Park to allow construction traffic to exit the work area safely.

The key benefits of the projects to the community will be:

• Improved traffic efficiency
• More reliable travel times
• Improved traffic capacity
• Improved pedestrian access
• Reduced traffic congestion with new turning lanes
